From the Albany n. Y, Express.
For many years my wife had been th'
victim of nervous dyspepsia, of the
chronic, distressing and apparently in
durable type from which so many of he'
sex suffer, languish and die. 1t was al
the worse because the tendency to 1T was
inherited. She had been under the sys-
tematic treatment of many of the best
physicians in New York and Brooklyn
and elsewhere for twenty years with only
tenn porary relief. In fact, there were few,
If any, kinds of food that did not distress
her, so diseased, sensitive and torpid were
all the organs of digestion. The usual
symptoms of dyspepsia, with its con-
comitant ailments, were all presept-bad
taste in the mouth, dull eyes, cold feet and
hands, the sense of load upon the
stomach, tenderness on pressure, indiges-
ton, giddiness, great weakness and pros
tration, and fugitive pains in the sides,
chest and back. Ihave often risen in the
night and administered stimulants merely
for the sake of the slight and transient
relief they gave.
Intermittent malarial fever set in, COM
plicating the case and making every
symptom more pronounced and intense.
By this time the pneumo-gastric nerves
had become very seriously involved, and
she had chronic Gastritis, and also what [
may be allowed to call chronic intermit-
tent malarial fever all at once. For the
latter the physicians prescribed the good,
old fashioned sheet anchor remedy,
quiuine, gradually increasing the doses,
until-incredible as it may seem-she &C
tually took thirty grains day for days in
succession. This could not last. The
effect of the quinine was, if possible,
almost as bad as the two-fold disease
which was wearing away her strength and
her life. Quinine poisoning was pain
fully evident, but the fever was there still.
Almost every day there came on the
characteristic chill and racking headache
followed by the usual weakness and col
LAPSE.
About this time l met socially my
friend Mr.. Norton, member of the firm
of Chauncey Titus & ompany, brokers,
of Albany, who, on hearing from me these
facts, said: "Why, bave been through
almost the same thing, and have got over
it," "What cured your" I asked eagerly.
''Kaskine," he said, try it for your wife"
l had seen Kaskine advertised, but had no
more faith in it than l had in sawdust,
for such a case as hers. Mrs. Hall had no
higher opinion, yet on the strength of my
friends recommendation l got bottle
and began its use as directed.
Now recall what have already said as
to her then condition, and then read what
follows: Under the Kaskine treatment
all the dyspeptic symptoms showed
instant improvement, and the daily fever
grew less and soon ceased altogether
Side by side these diseases vanished, as
side by side they had tortured their vic
tim for ten years-the dyspepsia alone
having, as have said, existed for twenty
years. Her appetite improved from weel
to week until she could eat and digest the
average food that any well person takes
without any suffering or inconvenience
With renewed assimilation of food came
of course, a steady increase in flesh, unit
she now looks like her original self.
She still takes Kaskine occasionally, bu
with no real need of it, for she is we'll.
consider this result scientific miracle
and the "New Quinine" is entitled to tn
credit of it, for from the time she began
with Kaskine she used no other medicine
whatever.
If you think recital of these fact
calculated to do good you are welcome t.
to make them public.
